Picking up a fresh metaphor from the field of urban planning, Wayfinding with Dietrich Bonhoeffer applies a ""wayfinding"" lens to consider how Bonhoeffer might be a wayfinder for followers of Christ today. Wayfinding provides an accessible entry point into Bonhoeffer's biography and body of work for any reader desiring to learn from the historical witness of a thoughtful, dynamic, and focused German pastor-scholar who took a courageous, early, and long-suffering stand against the powers of Nazism. King and Thomas travel with Bonhoeffer off the beaten path and into the kingdom of God, considering six selected themes from Bonhoeffer's dynamic, brief life with import for contemporary Christians. With wayfinding cues and questions to help guide readers deeper into the territory of Bonhoeffer's example, Wayfinding invites readers to learn the skills of weaving together the past, present, and future to inhabit the present with faithfulness to Christ in our cultural moment.

Reviews for Wayfinding with Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Off the Beaten Path and Into the Kingdom

""Wayfinding with Dietrich Bonhoeffer offers a deep look at the life and work of Bonhoeffer, while presenting him in an engaging and accessible way. This book could easily be found both on a podium in a seminary classroom and on a couch in a home hosting a small group. A must read for anyone looking to gain intellectual knowledge of the history of the church, while also personally growing in their relationship with Christ!"" --Carlos M. Velez, Calvary Church, Souderton, Pennsylvania -- ""Privileged to participate in the original Wayfinding community, I eagerly endorse this study of Bonhoeffer's resolute faith during Hitler's Third Reich. Written for group discussion, the authors highlight Bonhoeffer's significant moments, bidding readers to self-assess their sacrifice for Christ. As Bonhoeffer 'came to the Bible, ' subjecting himself to its scrutiny, we are summoned to read the Bible against ourselves. Wayfinding compels 'homesick exiles' to unseat cultural idols for 'cruciform Christianity.' An excellent read!"" --Randall A. Boltinghouse, senior minister, Windsor Road Christian Church ""If you need help navigating the life of faith in Jesus, Wayfinding with Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a perfect companion. As Bonhoeffer said, we need the 'witness of a brother' to help us through discouraging and uncertain times. Following his journey allows you to see Bonhoeffer's transformation, and it raises your faith to believe God will work that same transformation in you."" --Meridith Foster, host of The Unfolding Podcast ""This book will strengthen your resolve to follow Christ, resist the easy path, and develop a fresh love for how God speaks through the written and incarnate Word of God. Gain prophetic insight on resisting the Powers at work in our day and recognize if the church is to save her life, she must first be willing to lose it. A timely word from Jonathan King and Joseph Thomas!"" --JR Woodward, national director, V3 Movement
